Abstract

The current security model for a third-party application running on a mobile device requires its user to trust that application's vendor and whilst mechanisms exist to mediate this relationship, they cannot guarantee complete protection against the threats posed. This work introduces a security architecture that prevents a third-party application deviating from its intended behaviour, defending devices against previously unseen malware more effectively than existing security measures.
